Anthony Bordain

The more I watch this guy, the more I think he rocks. No Reservations and Layover are great TV shows. I just went to the libary and got the book that started it all "Kitchen Confidential Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly. Really good read so far and have had trouble putting it down.

He's a little over the top and certainly has an alcohol problem, but what a sense of humor.

Re: Anthony Bordain

It seems like he lives a life anybody would want to if they had no filter, no worries, and unlimited money... He is DEFINTELY a gifted wordsmith and it really helps to feel like you are right there with him.

Re: Anthony Bordain

Met him in LAX one time. He was a jerk to everyone asking for autographs so he's left kind of a sour taste in my mouth. I'm sure it gets old for him, but that's the life he's chosen for himself. Deal with it.

Re: Anthony Bordain

I love that guy. Tells it like it is and it's great because he NEVER expected to get famous or anything because of his original book (Kitchen Confidential). He is a great wordsmith IMO and interesting fact I didn't know until a few days ago - He went to Vassar for a few years, which is one of the most selective schools in the US. He "dropped out" and decided to go to the Culinary Institute of America instead after being a cook for a few summers, realizing his love of food.

Well, if he gets it a lot, it makes sense. Imagine being on vacation or going to work,and nobody will leave you the **** alone. Wouldn't that make you a jerk too? It's annoying after awhile.

People who ask for autographs in an airport should be hanged.

"OMG It's someone from my picture show machine! I should go over there even though he's minding his/her own business and bother them with my bad breath and fawning"
